Jabil to lay off 94 at Hunt Valley pharmaceutical plant by Dec. 29
Jabil Inc. has notified Maryland that it will permanently eliminate 94 jobs at its Pharmaceutics International subsidiary in Hunt Valley, with the cuts taking effect Dec. 29. The company says the move is meant to align staffing with business needs and that affected workers will get outplacement help.
A pharmaceutical manufacturing campus in Hunt Valley will shed 94 jobs at the end of December, according to a state layoff notice filed by its parent company.
Jabil Inc. submitted the notice on Oct. 30 for Pharmaceutics International, Inc., the subsidiary that operates the site at 10819 Gilroy Road. The filing, made under Maryland's worker-adjustment rules, classifies the action as a "Mass Layoff - No Recall" and sets the effective date at Dec. 29.
Jabil confirmed the reduction, saying it was made "to align staffing levels with current and projected business requirements." The company said affected employees will be offered career outplacement assistance and are encouraged to apply for other open positions within Jabil.
The Hunt Valley operation specializes in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing, including injectable and oral medications. Jabil acquired Pharmaceutics International in February 2025; at that time the company said Pii employed more than 300 people and ran four facilities across a 360,000-square-foot campus.
The notice does not specify which roles or departments will be affected, and it was not immediately clear how the cuts will be distributed across the campus. The "no recall" designation means the positions are not expected to be restored, a distinction that matters for workers planning next steps and for state workforce agencies tracking the region's manufacturing employment.
For Hunt Valley and the surrounding Baltimore County corridor, the loss of 94 manufacturing jobs represents a meaningful hit to a sector that has long provided stable, mid-skill employment in the area. Pharmaceutical production jobs often carry specialized training requirements, which can make it harder for displaced workers to move quickly into comparable roles nearby.
The filing comes roughly 21 months after Jabil took over the Hunt Valley campus, a deal the company presented at the time as an expansion of its health-care manufacturing capacity. The layoffs suggest the integration has not translated into sustained headcount growth at the site.
State labor officials have not released additional details about the filing. Workers and community members seeking information about unemployment benefits and retraining programs can contact the Maryland Department of Labor.
